I have a 2006 ss/sc and I was wondering where my boost pressure should stand. I wasn't sure if it is suppose to be. It tops its boost between the 0 and 5. So i'm guessing 2.5? I'm not truly sure how to read my boost gauge. Any help where it should be?

 

wow ... umm u should read ur boost gauge and i would say it go's to right around 12-15 ish depending on elevation but i dont know about 5. do u have an aftermarket or the one that came in the car? if its aftermarket u prob have it hooked up rong or its leaking. if its the stocker i would say eather ur gauge is rilly off or ur car is crazy! ( does it seem to run fine/ normal) also u read ur boost gauge at full throttle ( usualy in gear.. the more load the more boost u will build... to a point) but u read where the needle spikes out on the boost side( dont worry about the vacume side.

 

Yea dude my car is stock, but the gauge doesn't past 5 WTF? I recently had my guage replaced back in october last year, cuz it gave out. It was cover under warranty and so they fixed it. I bought the car used and it was always at under 5psi. So I figured maybe that is how its suppose to be. Even after I had rhe gauge fixed it stayed like that. I'm going to see wat I can do, maybe myself or dealer wise. Thanks bro. Also any suggestions?

 

please check your filter. possible clogging.

 

something doesnt sound right with the boost bypass solenoid

 

I'd take that thing into the dealership and be like.. WTF did you do!

 

Yea i called today, and they want to charge me to look under the hood. I'm jus going to do it myself,first i'll try the air filter if not that, the wastegate.
